It is important to have the correct bond angles of the different atoms and the shape of the molecule due to following reasons;
Among other properties the polarity of compounds mainly depend upon the shape and bond angles of that particular compound. For example, considering the molecule of water, we already know that it is a polar molecule with partially positive hydrogen atoms and partially negative oxygen atoms and acts as universal solvent. The bond angle in water is about 104.5° with a Bent geometry. Unlike carbon dioxide (CO₂) which has Linear structure with bond angle 180° and is non-polar in nature therefore, the bent geometry in water is responsible for the polarity.
Other properties which can also be predicted by predicting the bond angles along with molecular geometries are;
i) Magnetism
ii) Phase of matter
iii) Color
iv) Reactivity
v) Biological activities <em>e.t.c</em>
Answer:
c) An element is made up of all the same type of atom
Explanation:
Atoms are the smallest unit of an element that consists of protons, electrons and neutrons in its structure. An element is the smallest part of a chemical substance that cannot be disintegrated i.e. it cannot be broken down further.
Atoms and elements are different in many ways but they are connected in the sense that an element contains only one type of atoms. For example, aluminum element is made up of only aluminum atoms. Different atoms form a molecule but same atoms form an element.
Answer:
B
Explanation:
Homogeneous= all particles are dissolved thoroughly
Solute= 1 gram of salt
Solvent= 500 mL water
Answer:
0.3793 M
Explanation:
The unknown metal is zinc. So the equation of the reaction is;
Zn(s) + Cu^2+(aq) -------> Zn^2+(aq) + Cu(s)
From Nernst equation;
E = E° - 0.0592/n log Q
[Cu2+] = 0.050179 M
n = 2
[Zn^2+] = ?
E = 1.074 V
E° = 0.34 - (-0.76) = 1.1 V
Substituting values;
1.074 = 1.1 - 0.0592/2 log [Zn^2+]/0.050179
1.074 - 1.1 = - 0.0592/2 log [Zn^2+]/0.050179
-0.026 = -0.0296 log [Zn^2+]/0.050179
-0.026/-0.0296 = log [Zn^2+]/0.050179
0.8784 =log [Zn^2+]/0.050179
Antilog(0.8784) = [Zn^2+]/0.050179
7.558 = [Zn^2+]/0.050179
[Zn^2+] = 7.558 * 0.050179
[Zn^2+] = 0.3793 M
